CVE-2026-41231
Published:April 23, 2026
Updated:April 26, 2026
Froxlor is open source server administration software. Prior to version 2.3.6, "DataDump.add()" constructs the export destination path from user-supplied input without passing the "$fixed_homedir" parameter to "FileDir::makeCorrectDir()", bypassing the symlink validation that was added to all other customer-facing path operations (likely as the fix for CVE-2023-6069). When the ExportCron runs as root, it executes "chown -R" on the resolved symlink target, allowing a customer to take ownership of arbitrary directories on the system. Version 2.3.6 contains an updated fix.
